8 young trainers from across Washington State were recently handed the responsibility of taming a wild mustang. On April 25 the youth, ages 9-17, picked up their pre-assigned yearlings and hauled them to their training facilities where they are diligently working at teaching their charges about domestic life.
Some, obviously, are taking it better than others!
On July 25 the kids will return to Black Raven Stables in Arlington, WA where they'll compete in the Youth And Yearlings event (YAY) for silver buckles.
The yearling competition is being held in conjunction with an all breed youth open horse show where high points will be offered in three age groups, walk trot, and of course the top mustang horse of the day will be recognized. Following the classes, a competitive bid adoption will be held for several gentled yearlings.
If you live in the northwest, you won't want to miss this event! Need more information? email Tracey at desperatehorsewife@gmail.com
